Recent collaborations with key aviation technology providers, including The Weather Company, Lufthansa Systems, PACE TXT, APiJET, BCI, and Storkjet, have significantly bolstered the reach and effectiveness of Turbulence Aware. These companies now integrate Turbulence Aware data into existing systems for cockpit instruments, flight planning, and tracking, making it easier for airlines to utilize the platform seamlessly.

By incorporating real-time turbulence data into these systems, pilots and dispatchers gain access to precise information that enhances decision-making during flights. The result is a smoother flight experience, reduced operational costs, and a smaller environmental footprint.

Turbulence remains a significant challenge for the aviation industry. It is a leading cause of in-flight injuries, particularly to passengers who are not seated or wearing seat belts during unexpected episodes. Additionally, turbulence contributes to increased fuel consumption, as pilots often need to deviate from optimal flight paths to avoid rough air.
